For filters etc. most times just 128 steps are enough, hardware synth 
tend to use just 128 steps even when using SysEx instead of CC. The only 
problem can become the traffic when recording data without quantisation 
and when not using a separated MIDI port for SysEx or super-mega-much CC 
data. Less SysEx even is a problem when not using separated MIDI IOs. 
Quantisation can't be used when recording, resp. playing such recorded data.
